Moc, played by actor Aneirin Hughes, was once seen as a pillar of the society until it was revealed that he had sexually abused his own son, Gethin.

"What I can say is that there is a huge amount of tension to come and it should be as exciting to watch as it was to act," said Aneirin, who is well-known for his role in the detective series Y Gwyll / Hinterland among a host of other TV dramas.

The character has returned to the fictional village as an animal rights activist, but avid soap watchers will have guessed that he has a darker motive for returning.

"I've played my share of bad characters, but Moc is among the darkest.

"I enjoy the challenge of playing him, and for background information, I turned to real cases of abuse, such as the Jimmy Saville case, and such TV series as the powerful BBC drama series, Care, to try to understand the psyche of a character like Moc," said Aneirin, originally from north Ceredigion and now living in Cardiff.

A spokesman for the show said: "Moc is a desperate man, with a great number of enemies in the village.

"In his desperation, he turns on a number of the soap's favourite characters brandishing a gun. We can reveal that his son Gethin (played by Simon Watts) will be among them, along with Sheryl, Dani, Anita and Kelly."

The popular Welsh soap, which broadcast every week night on S4C apart from two week-long breaks during the summer, has staged a number of armed sieges in previous years, but this year's was among the most dramatic - especially with its cliffhanger ending.
